A more accurate judge of activity would be the commit logs or the discussions in #vg4nbsd. The list is not used actively to discuss development issues as we use the chat channel for that purpose. There is no reason to this, its just turned out that way. > What has been the most difficult and time-consuming part of porting > Valgrind to NetBSD?

None of us doing the port actively have a fulltime job where we can work on this. We have to find one two hours on the weekdays/weekends to do work on the port. The nature of the project also means that the work is very high effort/low yield. Doing sustained development is also hard as there are many unknowns to the porting effort. Technically there have been many challenges as well, but none harder than the human factors. In fact the most work we ever got done was when me eric and peter had a chance to meet for 3 days and hack at it. Time difference also make it harder for us to do 'hackathons' ( 8 hours difference between me and peter). Do drop by freenode #vg4nbsd and we can discuss in depth on the technical issues. > Thanks, > -- > Eric Hopper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Isilon Systems > _______________________________________________ Vg4nbsd-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/vg4nbsd-devel
